showing any pain when he crushed a 3-run home run against the Indians last week. Altuve also hit a home run and looked fantastic on the bases against the Indians. They both looked stellar for most of September.

I agree, that the Astros pitching staff had a few injuries, but most pitching staffs do at this point in the year. Heck, the A's didn't bring a single one of their opening-day starting pitchers to the playoffs. But I disagree about Altuve and Correa. They may have some lingering pain from their mid-season injuries, but most players do at this time of year. The 7-month season is a real grind.
